Chronics losing their glow :(

Orange chronics losing their vibrantness. Super bummed. I never noticed until I saw some kid with them and they were like the north star in my goggles. And mine aren't.

Not that big a deal, but that was something that made that year's chronics especially cool. Definitely not warranty worthy.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this?

You should definitely email Line for a warranty and say "My skis don't shine like they used too"

Colors fade over time when exposed to sun, wind, snow, etc.

Oh good lord...

Maybe I'll hit up Line and see if they will warranty my 08 Chronics because those aren't orange anymore either.

of course! just thought it was weird that some other dudes with them have them looking mint.

I asked them and they got them last year too. They have seen a week of bright Cali sunshine doe

Be happy...you ski enough that your shit is showing it.

I do a lot of whitewater rafting and we all take pride in sun faded gear.
